According to Bits.media, a new draft bill submitted by the Russian government aims to grant the Financial Supervisory Authority the power to monitor all cryptocurrency transactions. For cryptocurrency transactions exceeding 60,000 rubles and foreign trade cryptocurrency transactions exceeding 1,000,000 rubles, the agency will collect complete information such as the full names or corporate names of the payer and payee, wallet addresses, actual addresses, birth dates, and taxpayer identification numbers. Transactions below 60,000 rubles only require the provision of names and wallet addresses.The bill also stipulates that the new limit for digital asset transactions by banks is 1% of the bank group's capital, and banks must hold corresponding funds to cover risks for the purchased cryptocurrencies. The central bank will be authorized to restrict or prohibit specific cryptocurrency operations when they threaten investor interests or may "undermine the stability of the financial system," with the scope extending from non-bank financial institutions to banks. The bill is expected to take effect simultaneously with the main cryptocurrency regulatory legislation, originally scheduled for implementation on July 1, but the review has been postponed. The first deputy governor recently stated that the relevant laws may take effect on September 1.

According to a report by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), the stablecoin issuer Circle has been criminally charged by the Wisconsin state prosecutor for refusing to comply with a court order to assist in recovering funds for fraud victims.A victim in Wisconsin was defrauded of approximately 381,000 USDC, and the court issued a warrant last December requiring Circle to transfer frozen assets to law enforcement wallets, but Circle refused to comply, citing "technical inability to destroy and reissue tokens."The New York state prosecutor had previously sent a letter to the U.S. Senate, accusing Circle of repeatedly refusing asset freeze requests without a warrant and questioning its motives—Circle currently holds at least 119 million frozen USDC, which can continuously earn interest.In response, Circle denied the allegations, stating that the Wisconsin court lacks jurisdiction, and indicated that it has reached a preliminary agreement with federal prosecutors regarding a compensation mechanism for victims. Cryptocurrency tracking experts pointed out that Circle could fully implement token destruction and reissuance by updating its code, casting doubt on its claim of technical incapacity.

According to Bits.media, Russia's largest private bank, Alfa-Bank, has announced plans to become a digital custodian and provide cryptocurrency-related services, not only for its own clients but also for other legal entities. Dmitry Vitman, the bank's Chief Operating Officer, stated that the bank aims to create investment tools based on open blockchain to attract foreign investors and develop proprietary products and tools that can compete in the international market.He anticipates that after the government cryptocurrency regulatory bill comes into effect, Russia may see retail brokerage services emerge between the end of 2026 and early 2027, involving both Russian and foreign infrastructure, but large-scale liquidity is not expected until at least the end of 2027.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, SpaceX officially joined the Nasdaq 100 Index on July 7, after the company disclosed that its balance sheet holds 18,712 bitcoins. JPMorgan estimates that this index rebalancing will drive approximately $4.3 billion in passive inflows into funds and ETFs that track the Nasdaq 100. This means that through corporate treasury channels, institutional capital has gained structural exposure to bitcoin.After SpaceX's inclusion, the number of companies holding bitcoin in their treasury within the Nasdaq 100 has increased to three (SpaceX, Tesla, and Strategy). Analysts point out that the inclusion in the index creates demand driven by rules rather than active allocation, and the combination of bitcoin holdings with strong fundamentals can enhance a company's market visibility and liquidity. Currently, publicly listed companies collectively hold over 1.26 million bitcoins, and corporate bitcoin strategies are shifting from early experimentation to integration with mature financial infrastructure.

According to Bits.media, the Financial Market Committee of the Russian State Duma has approved the final version of the government's cryptocurrency regulation bill, which will be submitted for a second reading. Committee Chairman Anatoly Aksakov revealed that the second reading version made several key adjustments: the requirement to mandatory declare cryptocurrency wallet addresses has been removed, and instead, only balances and transaction flows need to be declared to protect residents from the risk of sensitive information leakage; a new amendment allows for the legal purchase of securities in the securities market and Russian digital financial assets using cryptocurrency.In the future, it may be allowed for Russian licensed brokers and asset managers to trade on foreign cryptocurrency exchanges, but they must meet additional requirements such as the "friendliness" of the jurisdiction. For non-professional investors, the annual limit through a single intermediary is set at 300,000 rubles, and it is limited to "the most liquid cryptocurrencies." The bill also introduces a two-day freeze on large transfers to foreign and third parties. Aksakov did not clarify whether the proposal to prohibit Russians from using non-custodial cryptocurrency wallets would be retained.
